EXPERIENCE LEVEL:

Student

We have several topics related to structural analyses of satellites, instruments and mechanisms available, which will be discussed with the candidates during the selection process. Doing your final year project with us involves performing several of the following tasks:

• Create Finite Element (FE) Models of satellite structures, instruments or components. FE models have to be compliant to department standards and good practices.
• Conduct linear static, sine and random vibration as well as vibro-acoustic structural analyses.
• Conduct thermoelastic distortion analyes.
• Perform structural assessments by means of hand calculations
• (Further-)develop tools in Matlab or in a Hypermesh scripting interface language for the automatization of analysis pre-/ postprocessing tasks
• Understand and prepare technical documentation in English or German
